Sounds promisingm, especially now that macOS defaults to Zsh... I very rarely see any documentation where that is the default.

I never understood this. It's always seemed worse - in bash/zsh I can tab complete branches/tags etc in git, pods/deployments etc in kubectl. I try that in fish and it'll just list files in my PWD
Immediately seeing if you misspelled a command because the color changes is a huge benefit if you're not super familiar with the command line.
The auto-complete and suggestions are also miles better than bash - they are automatically generated from man pages, so most commands have a usable set of completions.
The web-based config lets you easily tweak settings that would otherwise be an incomprehensible soup of PS1=3!@*(!@!@ gobbledygook.
Also, it mostly "just works" out of the box, so you really don't have to waste any time setting anything up if you don't really care.
